Loaded up the truck last Friday to take the empty aluminum cans to the scrap yard. When i tried to start the truck it would crank but not run. Tried 4 or 5 times without any luck. Ended up checking the filter and hoses for flow and there was none. I tried to pressurize the tank and no luck...

You can always store a bunch of sand bags in the back. The weight will load the springs and you get better traction. You can also use the sand if you get stuck on ice.

Use the thicker of the two gaskets on the opposite side of the filter (engine side) The filter side does not have a gasket.

So why didn't you close the thread?

For someone in charge of this site you are not providing a good example of a thread title. (in fact it does not make any sense at all) Not even DH could find it in a search!

I finished painting the truck today. I started by unbolting the tool box mounted behind the cab. I then wiped down the surface with surface prep and primed some exposed spots. I got the top painted and then painted around the back window. I also finished painting the passenger side door and...

I nominate my newly painted 1985 M1008 CUCV. I will have better pictures this weekend when I finish painting.

I love the compliments, keep them up! :tank: I should have the paint job done tomorrow. Then I plan to clean and paint the rims CARC Green.

Today I started by sanding the front bumper and brush-guard. Both had spots of flaking paint and surface rust. Once sanded I applied a coat of Rusty Metal Primer to the bumper and brush-guard. After cleaning the rest of the surfaces with wax and grease remover I continued to paint the front...

So you were doing 68MPH on tires rated 55MPH max...

Nice truck. I see you were carrying your own wheel chuck. Air ride seat are a must in all my trucks. Springers are back breakers! I also found that there is more space between the steering wheel and my stomach with the air ride seats. One mod I would recommend for all 5 tons and Deuces is...

Progress made....Here are some new pictures.

Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I had this truck for over 6 months without many comments from the people down here. After we did the lift and the HMMWV tires and rims I get a lot of compliments about how cool the truck is. Hopefully I will get even more with the paint work completed...

The hydraulic hoses on my wrecker are in very bad shape. Also have no experience using the wrecker and didn't want any problems. The buyer payed for the tow truck 8 months ago. It was a miracle day!!!!!!!!!:jumpin::jumpin::jumpin:fat lady sings

More progress today. I got about 1/3 of the truck painted. Here are some photos: Last picture was taken with the paint still wet.

Well today was a miracle day. They finally came to pick up the M52A2. Been waiting almost a year for it to leave. I hired a wrecker to come lift it up and drag it down the road to where the freight truck was waiting for it's cargo. With a drop deck it was easy for the wrecker driver to push...

I got the frame setup for a soft top. If interested PM me for a price. I wonder if Clintogf may still have some soft tops. She had good price on some in the past.

I don't think you can find one. Best bet is to get a tan one and add the rest of the CAMO colors yourself. Krylon Fusion is great on Vinyl. (Most people prefer hardtop to soft top.

I do the coolant bypass mod to all my MVs. Now I feel the cost is worth it.

Started today by taking pictures of the truck before the paint job. Had some serious body work to do on the tailgate. Sanded the dented areas to bare metal and then applied several coats of BONDO to fill in the dents an nicks. Used my DA sander to sand between application of filler. Once...
